How X-PEN ID is Structured
Learn how every contributor record is structured, machine-readable, and ready for the indexing & AI-driven discovery web
Three parts. One persistent identity.
Every X-PEN ID follows a structured, human-readable format that combines who you are, when you joined, and a unique sequence — all in one short, memorable code.
-
NR
Prefix — Your Initials
Initials of your full legal name (first, middle, last). Example: Nasir Razzaq becomes NR.
-
XPEN2025
Mid — Platform & Year
"XPEN" identifies the platform; the year indicates when you joined the X-PEN ID ecosystem.
-
0001
Suffix — Unique Sequence
A unique number assigned to you within that year — your permanent place in the contributor record.
Every contributor, fully indexed.
Each X-PEN ID profile generates these structured layers automatically as you add information. All layers are Schema.org-compliant and emitted as JSON-LD for AI agents and search engines.
Person
schema:Person
Core identity — name, alternate names, honorific prefix and suffix, location, biography, profile image.
Identifiers
schema:identifier
X-PEN ID, ORCID, ISNI, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, GitHub, Wikidata, LinkedIn — all linked.
Education
schema:alumniOf
Every degree from every institution, with dates, projects, theses, and verifiable credential records.
Experience
schema:hasOccupation
Career history with positions, organizations, dates, and responsibilities — preferred role highlighted.
Internships
schema:Occupation
Early-career experiences captured the same way as professional roles — supervisors, achievements, locations.
Courses & Specializations
EducationalOccupationalCredential
Certificates, training, and specializations as formal credentials with awarding bodies and verification IDs.
Articles
schema:ScholarlyArticle
Every article emitted as a separate node in the graph — journal, volume, issue, pages, DOI, SEIPID, abstract.
Books
schema:Book
Books, chapters, edited works, and translations with ISBN, edition, publisher, and contributor roles.
Awards & Recognitions
schema:award
Verified awards, fellowships, and honors — what was given, by whom, and when.
Memberships
schema:memberOf
Roles in academic societies, associations, editorial boards, and professional organizations.
Languages
schema:knowsLanguage
Spoken, written, and reading languages with proficiency levels — globally indexable.
Knowledge & Skills
schema:knowsAbout
Research interests, skills, keywords — the topical map of what each contributor works on.
A simplified look at the JSON-LD.
When a search engine or AI agent visits an X-PEN ID profile, this is the structured data they read. Every profile emits its own version automatically.
// Simplified preview — actual graph contains 12+ layers { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "ProfilePage", "mainEntity": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dr. Salma Razzaq", "identifier": [ { "propertyID": "X-PEN ID", "value": "SR-XPEN2025-0007" }, { "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-..." } ], "alumniOf": [/* education layer */], "hasOccupation": [/* experience layer */], "hasCredential": [/* courses + degrees */], "knowsAbout": ["AI ethics", "Islamic ethics", ...], "knowsLanguage": ["English", "Urdu", "Arabic"], "award": [/* verified awards */], "memberOf": [/* societies, boards */], "sameAs": [/* all social/academic links */] }, "@graph": [ { "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", /* ... */ }, { "@type": "Book", /* ... */ } ] }
Readable by every modern discovery system.
Schema.org is the open standard adopted by all major search engines and AI systems. By emitting clean JSON-LD, every X-PEN ID profile is immediately understandable to humans, machines, and the next generation of AI agents.
X-PEN ID doesn't replace — it connects.
Already on ORCID, Scopus, or LinkedIn? X-PEN ID treats every external identifier as part of your knowledge graph, with each link emitted as PropertyValue nodes for full machine traceability.
Built to last longer than any single platform.
Profiles disappear when websites die, when companies pivot, when faculty leaves a university. X-PEN ID is engineered for permanence.
Persistent IDs
Your X-PEN ID never changes. URLs stay stable. Citations to your profile remain valid for life.
Open data, exportable
Your full profile graph is yours. Download it as JSON-LD anytime. No lock-in. No proprietary format.
Independent infrastructure
X-PEN ID is hosted independently with built-in redundancy. Designed to outlive any single institution.
Your future profile should not be scattered across the internet.
Build a single, persistent, searchable identity that can grow with your education, work, research, credentials, and public contribution history.
